It sounds like the electronic module inside the distibutor is going bad and needs to be replaced, they don't last forever and will only usually cost about 80 dollars at your local auto zone store. typically it starts out running then a few miles down the road the car stops running with a small back-fire then once the module cools down it starts back up but will soon quit working all together.
